Peter Ilsted (b. Sakskøbing 1861, d. Copenhagen 1933)

“Aftenbillede.” Evening. The artist's daughters at the piano. Signed with monogram. Oil on panel. 55×49 cm.

The motif with the daughters at the piano in the glow of the kerosene lamp was popular for Ilsted, who has painted it in more versions, e.g. in a version dated 1904, which was exhibited the same year at Charlottenborg's Spring Exhibition as no. 234. This was sold at Winkel & Magnussen auction 242, 1939 no. 117.

The motif was also made as both an etching in 1904 and a mezzotint in 1912, respectively Opus 47 (etchings) and Opus 13 in Vilhelm Tryde's Catalogue Raisonné of Peter Ilsted's graphic works, 1924.
